« Funding Terror: Breaking the Media Silence | Main | Kerry Fires Blanks » September 14, 2004Real Memos, Real WarAmidst all the intense scrutiny of and bloggage about those CBS forged memos, let's not lose sight of the real issues in the presidential campaign - and it isn't who did what in a war 35 years ago, but who will do what in the war we are in now. And there is a two-page memo of known authenticity that sheds real light on John Kerry's approach national security and defense issues during a time of war. Here is that memo:
And here is more information about that memo. (And don't let the Kerry campaign distort the senator's record on this issue by claiming he only supported defense cuts proposed by then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney. Cheney proposed cuts after we had won the Cold War, but Kerry proposed wholesale disarming of the U.S. military at the height of the Cold War.) Posted in War on Terror

..to be discussed in the upcoming debates. No Swiftboat vets on the stage, no Karl Rove on the stage, no retired officers... Mano a mano. Posted by: SemiPundit at September 14, 2004 11:45 AMOnce we get past snickering at the idea of Kerry claiming to have always been for a strong defense, take a look at the memo itself. Posted by: steve at September 14, 2004 03:41 PMNo nuanced positions, no "W stands for Wrong," no MoveOn.org. Mano a mano. The only question is, which John Kerry will show up at the debates? Posted by: Big Dog at September 14, 2004 07:12 PMGood question. Will it be the Kerry who was for the war but voted against it, or the Kerry who was against the war but voted for it, or the Kerry who was sort of for and against it but voted against and for and against it but now is for it even if there were no WMD, but thinks its the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place, but is also a part of the War on Terror, which he would seek to win. Hmm... It boggles the mind. Posted by: Bill Hobbs at September 14, 2004 07:44 PMPost a comment
